Exactly, that's why this works isn't it?

This makes one self consistent timeline where the big reveal is OP kills the archduke starting WW1 giving rise to Hitler in the first place.

What we wouldn't know is the nature of "Jenkins" let's call him, before the very first time travel that first timeline OP went back to kill. Maybe it was in fact the archduke who rises to horrible power, adding another layer of indirection to the story.

Seems to me that, once you time travel you're on a different timeline where the events you originally wanted to change didnt happen so you wouldn't have memory of them, right? Perhaps you'd think it was all about Hitler, but Hitler was the result not the cause.

Edit: Lots of words to effectively reinvent and colorize the bootstrap paradox lol. Should have read the thread first.
